Big shop rehab almost over...so I thought I'd post a couple 'teaser' pics. :p

I basically moved everything around and made a home for things that used to lay around on the floor. I'm still 'putting' away, but the bulk of it's done...and I had to get some things finished.

First pic is some MDF wall cabinets I put up, and my new, very plain 49x49 work table with torsion box top. It's so close to flat it scares me. :eek: In the clamps is the top for the coffee table base above, which is for my sister. It's QSWO...which I hate working with. Mesquite has spoiled me. :D

Here's the end tables that go with the coffee table. I haven't got my air piping put back up yet...primarily because I'm not sure that's where the compressor is gonna stay.

Moving into the darkness, I spent some money on shelving for lumber storage. Lotsa mesquite here...I 'rediscovered' much of this while cleaning. :(

My plan is to store material in this 'roughing' area until I get ready to use it, then I'll move it to the other new shelving where I do most of the cutting, assembling, etc.

Anyhoo...no great shakes or anything...but I haven't posted anything in awhile. ;)

The shop's looking good KC. By "teaser" you mean that a full tour is in the works?

BTW, if you get a chance, swing over here to Albuquerque and help me "rediscover" some lumber - my stash is getting thin. :rolleyes:

Good Looking shop,KC.

I have the exact wall standards & brackets you have. They really hold a lot of weight & work great for me. It must be great working with all that mesquite all the time. Great pics & projects.

Who are you trying to fool? We all know that isn't your shop because you can see the floor! :rolleyes:

I thought about mentioning the floor, but I knew you'd come through for me! :D

Hold on a minute. I'm kind of lost here. There used to be a blue router on the floor by the door that kind of got me oriented. I can't find it and I don't know which way to turn. Also without all the chips and sawdust hiding the floor, tools and tables I am distracted by all the stuff that crowds into my view. Are you sure you are going to leave it like this?(-;

KC, it looks great. It sure is nice getting things organized a little bit. I just finished my rehab and it was alot of work, I think you have more room than I do though!! Congrats!

Oh ok KC...now I understand. Your old post was before my SMC time. That's the way my shop looked last week. Except you had a higher pile of clamps and nicer buried tools!:rolleyes:

Good catch, Don. I finally tossed the old Makita during this cleanup. It was a difficult decision...but I haven't thrown anything for quite some time, so I figure maybe I've learned my lesson. :o

KC.....KC.....KC, did you absolutely have to do that?????? :confused: Since YOU have cleaned up and organized, it now Forces ME to have to make a few moves in my shop, :mad: and I just wasn't read to do that yet. :p (Refer to my Shop Shots in the Off Topic Forum). It's getting so you just can't depend on anything or anybody to remain unchanged these days. :D
